Introducing DAX Video Course

This is an introductory video course about the DAX language. DAX is the native language of Power BI, Analysis Services, Power Pivot for Excel. The training is aimed at users of Power BI, Excel, and at Fabric and Analysis Services developers that want to move the first steps with DAX.

The goal is to teach the DAX language using Power BI for all the examples. You can download the initial Power BI Desktop file used in the demos and repeat all the steps shown in the videos. The same concepts can be used also on semantic models in Fabric, on Power Pivot and on Analysis Services.

The course is made of 84 minutes of lectures. You can watch the videos at anytime and the system will keep track of your advances. Within the course you can download the initial Power BI file used in the demos.

    Really good course, the first time I understood measures and calculated columns (one calculates across and one calculates downwards - I hope!) after six months of playing with PBI.

  • Dariusz Olak (Nov 17, 2019)

    Fantastic. Although I already made some advance in using Power BI and DAX, the course let me understand what I comprehended intuitively so far. It helped me unscramble my understanding of DAX functions and algorithms.

    thanks, Just Loved It!!

  • Stanislav Iglarcik (Nov 14, 2019)

    Simply the best

  • KHALIL (Nov 13, 2019)

    Very professional courses, simply easy to understand DAX for an Excel user

  • Joe Romano (Nov 13, 2019)

    There were a number of good points, but it really wasn't an introductory course as it assumed the viewer already had a certain level of knowledge about DAX. Would have been better to start at the real basics and build from there in little pieces, each of which is explained in detail. Additionally, it was difficult enough trying to filter through the narrator's heavy accent to follow what he was saying, but the occasional banter between him and the off-screen person became very distracting.
